La Bul

Extraordinary restaurant in Bari and a great dining experience. It’s in the City centre and easy to reach. The restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere - it’s more like sitting in a very tastefully furnished living room, although some of the nice looking chairs could be hard to sit on on a full evening 🙂 The food is excellent, we had the fish based menu and enjoyed every course. Staff is super attentive and very knowledgeable. Wine menu is great with excellent whites and a very skilled sommelier. This is a strong recommendation.

I had dinner in this restaurant month ago. We chosed for eight course chef’s menu, and it was delicious. Started with some bites with caviar and nice selection of local bread. Every course came as a surprise, there were first three courses of raw fish dishes, then perfectly cooked risotto in fish sauce, then pasta with red prawns and truffle, duck with foie gras and steak, ended with light tiramisu dessert. The atmosphere was nice, we dined in the garden, interior gave vibe of old soul’s presence in the restaurant. Service was excellent, waiter and sommelier were attentive and took good care of us. I truly recommend this place.

We had a great dinner with three friends. It was a calm Wednesday evening but didn’t bother. Food was awesome, wines combined nicely and the service very good and comfortable.

What a very special treat in Bari!! Everything was spectacular. A must for anyone looking for fine cuisine a la Puglia in Bari!

What a fabulous way to end my stay in Bari! It doesn't look much from the outside but inside is a whole other story! The food was amazing. Such a variety of tastes and textures and so well thought out and executed. The chef even finished a couple of dishes at the table. The service, both food and wine, was also fabulous and the wine matching (and descriptions) perfect. Thank you to every who made my night so unforgettable. Even the table of incredibly loud and disrespectful Americans at the next table couldn't put a dampener on this one!

I had a great evening at La Bul in Bari, Italy, opting for the chef's surprise tasting menu. The food, while very good, lacked that wow factor—creative and fresh, yet missing the mark on creating lasting memories. The wine selection, featuring many local options, was a strong point, but the service, while pleasant, didn't quite reach the level of excellence found in comparable fine dining establishments.

La Bul is a Michlene style restaurant when you choose a pre-made course (5 or 7 portions). I chose 5, and I liked everything (except the calamry black ink portion). The place itself is nothing special, but this is usually the case with Michlene (style) restaurants. If you're into good food and reasonable pricing (again, comparing to a 1-star Michelene type restaurant), don't miss LA Bul!

This Michelin restaurant was recommended by the owner of our lodging. We arrived in Bari rather late and decided to do ala carte (the preset menu would be my recommendation). We were lucky that they allowed us to come in near to their closing time. We started with Sea bream tartare with guacamole, caviar and herb (highly recommended). Cappellacci with prawn, sheep ricottas and truffle was fresh and flavorful. Risotto with pork and ricotta cheese was good even though was not as special as the Cappellacci. Btw they gave us complementary various apulian pettole and appetizers. This is a must visit when you are in Bari
